Mirosaw

Mirosaw is a male given name of Slavic origin. It is a variant form of Mirosław and is occasionally encountered as a surname in Slavic-speaking communities. The spelling Mirosaw is often found among Polish and diaspora contexts where names are transliterated into English.

Etymology: The name combines Slavic elements mir- meaning peace and slav meaning glory or fame, yielding a meaning such as “peaceful glory” or “glory of peace.” The standard Polish variant is Mirosław, while Mirosaw reflects an orthographic shift that occurs in transliteration or regional usage.

Usage and distribution: Today the form Mirosaw is relatively rare and is seen mainly in Poland or among Polish communities abroad when adapting the name for English-language contexts. It may appear as a given name or, less commonly, as a surname, but it is not widely used as a standalone family name.

Cultural references and notable people: There are no widely recognized historical figures or contemporary individuals with the exact spelling Mirosaw who have separate biographical articles. In fiction and media with Slavic settings, the variant may be used to evoke Slavic heritage. Related names include Mirosław and Miroslav.
